 The Balanced Man Scholarship is a scholarship offered by Sigma Phi Epsilon for all students attending Tri-State University. Having made the transition ourselves, we know the leap from high school to college can be difficult. With that in mind the scholarship we offer is designed to alleviate some of the stress involved in this transition.
While the primary purpose of all college students is to graduate, we believe that in order to fully become a man one cannot solely focus upon academics. This scholarship specifically awards those students whose awards, achievements, academic performance, and extra curricular activities are consistent with the Balanced Man philosophy of Sigma Phi Epsilon. The scholarship is available for all students, not solely for students planning on joining a fraternity.
The application process will begin by the evaluation of the application. This is the preliminary evaluation to all those that show interest. The second step in the evaluation process is each and every applicant will have an interview with one of the members on the Scholarship committee. Finally, the scholarship will be awarded at the Annual Balanced Man Scholarship Banquet held on campus at the beginning of the spring semester 2007.
There will be $1000 in scholarship money awarded at the banquet. As to lighten the load of the evaluation process we have set the early application deadline for November 1, 2006. Although the final deadline will be December 1, 2006, most of the application processing and interviewing will be done in November. Since we have a rolling application process, the earlier we receive your application the easier it is for us to schedule time to meet with you.
